What Makes Hing Pure? How to Choose the Best Asafoetida

Hing, or asafoetida, is more than just a spice. It’s a legacy of Indian kitchens and Ayurvedic wisdom. But how do you know if your hing is actually pure?

At Tassyam, we specialize in pure, gluten-free hing crafted using traditional methods. Unlike most commercial brands, we don’t use wheat starch or synthetic fillers. Our Laxmi Chand Hing is named after our grandfather, who pioneered hing processing in India.

Pure hing is usually in crystal form, smells strong, and needs just a pinch to elevate any dish. If your hing smells weak or has a white flour-like texture, chances are it’s compounded or diluted.

Here’s what to look for in a pure hing:

  1. Strong aroma even in small quantity
  2. No added starch or gluten
